Samsung i-Function lens T50200IB 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED OIS (Accessories)

Customer Review

It all depends on what one which compares and the results that can be achieved with this lens, can be quite see, but you look at it closely, there are certainly room for improvement:

- The light intensity F1: 4-1: 5.6 is noticeably lower than that of several super-zoom bridge Cams (eg my old Lumix.), Something that the larger camera chip of the NX series with respect to the noise performance but strongly relativized. A little more light intensity, may occur when small Flange but much more expensive not really be. Walimex creates a 85mm prime lens with F1: 1.4 with a significantly lower MSRP (street prices as another story). A start-aperture of F1: 2.8 would be really great for the focal length, but is not going to get from Samsung.

- The zoom ring is really smoothly only with speedy movement - a slow zoom drive á la "Lord of the Rings" is not possible. As Video Lens is therefore useless really great.

- It is also amazing how highly dependent the pace of autofocus from the lens. Compared to my kit lens, which I feel is quite fast focusing, this falls far from here. So terribly reliable, it is then especially in low-light situations and not (a little more intensity, so, this problem would mitigate).

- Maybe it's on the camera, but the OIS has only two modes, an OFF missing. However, because the camera software is separate from the lens software up-to-data, I suppose here that the lens slips up.

Anyway, according to this list of criticisms, one must consider the following, would you comment on buy rating:

- It is getting a 200 Focal length of the NX series is the cheapest of Samsung.
- Lenses from other manufacturers must always be focused manually because I have not found an adapter that adapts the electronics. Who depends on the auto-focus, has to rely on Samsung NX lenses.
- The only remote-alternative from Samsung (the 18-200er) is noticeably more expensive and also not brighter.
- If you like IFN which can be used even with this lens.
- The lens can also focus manually
- The 52mm filter my old Lumix fit here d'up (ok - an advantage from which not have what too many ...)
- The images are very well in good light.

Not quite so much enthusiasm, but the performance of the lens, blending harmoniously with the, the other NX products. Samsung takes a little way from the "GSP Beginner's Corner" to come out with his Objektv-product policy for my feeling. The potential have the NX-Cams. I bought my NX mainly due to lack of mirror and not because of the low price. However, I am surprised that Samsung has no single really fast lens on offer - at least a normal focal length F1: 1.4 would have to go yet. :(

My conclusion: Who needs a 200-focal length for its NX camera and can not live without autofocus, has little alternative.
